2L 5s: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

2L 5s refers to ~~a Moment~~ of ~~Symmetry scale~~ with ~~two large steps and five small steps. Common names for such a tuning are mavila and anti-diatonic. The generator is a sharp fourth (or flat fifth), falling between~~ 3\7 (3 degrees of [[7edo|7edo]]) ~~and~~ 1\2 (1 degree of [[~~2edo|~~2edo]] — the ~~half-octave tritone~~ that ~~appears in every even-numbered edo~~).

'''2L 5s''' or '''antidiatonic''' refers to the structure of octave-equivalent [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 3\7 (3 degrees of [[7edo|7edo]] = 514.29¢) to 1\2 (one degree of [[2edo]] = 600¢). In the case of 7edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 2edo, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the two equal L's).

The word "mavila" is used in different ways by different folks. Not every user of the word would consider every 2L 5s scale an instance of "mavila." In particular, between 13\29 and 14\31, and centered on 9\20, is the albitonic scale for the 2.7.11.13 subgroup temperament [[Chromatic_pairs#Score|score]], which is not intended to be treated as having any kind of fifth, flat or otherwise.
